to 15 minutes from engine shutdown.)
WA RN IN G:
Operating the engine with the dipstick / cap unlatched will result in
excessive oil loss leading to eventual engine stoppage.
N OTE : In order to obtain an accurate oil level reading, it is necessary
to either check the oil within 10 to 15 minutes after engine shutdown
(referencing the max hot markings while the oil is still hot) or to reference
the max cold markings prior to the first flight of the day. If more than 10
minutes has elapsed since engine shutdown and the engine oil is still
warm, perform an engine motoring run for approximately 5 seconds before
checking the oil level while referencing the maximum hot markings.
